I'm using a Dazzle Video Capture device to convert Hi8 tapes to Digital... with Pinnacle Studio and it makes a weird almost screeching sound sometimes. At first I thought it was the camera, but than I tried VLC Player, and there was no (weird) sound. I also tried Debut Video Capture, which also makes the weird sound. My question is, how can I stop the sound, obviously, OR, what is a good alternative to Pinnacle Studio and Debut. Thanks!

Edit: Here is a sample video of what I captured with CaptureFlux; the weird noise is at 26 seconds.

I recognize that distortion from bad DAT cassettes, which also record helical tracks on metal tape. My opinion is that it stems from deterioration of the magnetic layer or possibly deformation (stretching/shrinking). It varies a bit from play to play, but recurs around the same parts of the recording.

Is there any program that could scan the audio track of a file to detect this soundwave or any distortion... so I could go back and edit/recapture that part?

Love to help, but I don't want to burden you with any more negative opinions.
